While this prototype is available from SPH&TS/Intermountain, Bruce Petty uses the Tyco cars as an inexpensive stand-in for SP Class F-70-7:http://www.lariverrailroads.com/flatcar.html


    But keep in mind that the very accurate Red Caboose flat car is a GOOD model of that SP car class. The RC dies are now owned by, and used for production by, the Southern Pacific Historical & Technical Society.
